Although transmission of viral associated infectious diseases through blood transfusion has been markedly reduced by the implementation of extensive pre-transfusion donor testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and human T cell lymphotrophic virus (HTLV I/ll), there is still a residual risk of transmission [1-6]. In addition, other agents such as malaria parasites [2] Trypanosoma cruzi [7], babesia [8], parvovirus [2], and bacteria [9] are not detected by current testing programs. More importantly, future viral pathogens which may enter the donor population are undetected by the present testing strategy; and as with HIV, as new viruses emerge, there will be a substantial delay before sensitive screening tests can be implemented. Thus, a strategy to decontaminate blood products through the universal inactivation of potential pathogens is appealing. This lecture is primarily focused on inactivation of viral pathogens in cellular blood products; however, it is important to remember that a truly successful universal decontamination methodology should be capable of inactivating bacteria and protozoa in addition On a world-wide basis this is especially critical, in many regions protozoa are signifiant contributors to transfusion acquired infections. Thus, where appropriate, laboratory investigations dealing with inactivation of these pathogens will be discussed. Due to the large amount of work in recent years, this review will provide only an overview of the current “state of the art” of decontamination of cellular blood components. More detailed information may be obtained from the proceedings of a recent conference [10]. to viruses.
